Rat Temple – audio piece
I used short videos that I had of my mother filming. She came to visit me in India and we went to the Rat temple in Jaipur. Please make sure that the subtitles are on because some of the audio is in Hebrew. These rats are believed to be holy. According to legend, the goddess
Tongue
This week I was playing with Vuforia. I created a cylinder target object and added the “Look at Me” script. My main mistake, that took most of my time in the process, was choosing a poor image as my target. I even color printed it before checking its rating in Vuforia target manager. I build

My hourly comics
Today I documented every hour since I woke up until now. For my hourly comics exercise, I took short videos of my point of view at that moment and sang about my day in Hebrew. At the beginning of today, my main reaction was freaking out by how fast the time flys. But as I did it more
